We're creating intelligent robotic and autonomous systems that benefit and inspire all of society.
The QUT Centre for Robotics builds on a decade of investment at QUT in robotic research and translation which has been funded by QUT, Australian Research Council, Queensland Government, cooperative research centres and industry.
The centre:
Robotics is a transformative technology with potential applications across a range of industries including manufacturing, agriculture and construction.
We undertake research into robotic perception, understanding, control and interaction.
We create prototype systems to demonstrate principles and evaluate in real-world scenarios.
We engage with industry, government and society through translational robotics research, media and public forums.
Robots and other autonomous systems are changing the way we live, work and play. QUT’s research focuses on the development of technology that can be used to improve our understanding and management of the world around us to benefit humanity.
Peter has led robotics research at QUT since 2010 and was the founding director of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Robotic Vision, headquartered at QUT. His research is concerned with enabling robots to see so that they can be truly effective in non-factory applications such as agriculture, environmental monitoring, asset inspection and mining.
Within weeks of school starting 2020’s pioneering Year 12s are handing in internal assessments and busily preparing for the first exams of the year.
The BMW Group + QUT Design Academy was officially launched last night at QUT’s Gardens Point campus and is expected to soon become an innovation hot spot for real world projects.
